Why do education reforms always seem to fail?
Why are we studying harder, living faster, but feeling more anxious than ever?
In Dismantling the Appendix, Taiwanese author Ping Xu delivers a sharp and courageous diagnosis:
The true obstacle to educational freedom isn't lazy teachers or unmotivated students—it's the outdated rule that says we must "work to survive."
Through personal storytelling, global comparisons, and real-life insights from the Finnish education system, Xu proposes a bold solution: Universal Basic Income.
Only when survival is no longer tied to labor can true learning begin.
Only then can education break free from the test-driven rat race and return to its core: curiosity, dignity, and growth.
This is a manifesto for parents, teachers, policy makers—and anyone who's ever wondered, What am I really alive for?
為什麼教育改革總是徒勞無功?
為什麼我們愈學愈累、愈活愈焦慮?
在《拆掉盲腸》中,台灣作者徐萍提出一個犀利又深刻的診斷:
教育之所以無法自由,不是因為老師不夠努力、學生不夠聰明,而是我們的社會制度早已老舊病變——那就是「靠工作換生存」。
本書結合親身經歷、國際觀察與芬蘭教育實例,提出一個核心主張:唯有落實無條件基本收入,人才能真正擁有學習與生活的自由。
當我們不再為了生存而拼命,教育才能回歸好奇與成長的本質。
這是一封寫給父母、老師、政策制定者,也寫給每一位曾經問過「活著到底是為了什麼」的人,充滿希望的邀請函。
